WMcD Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 At one time, Sinatra was the most hated man in America. Or so I read in "The Glory and the Dream" by Manchester. During WW-II young women at home would swoon over Sinatra while their young men were at war doing heroic things. WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2015 The Voice is what they called him. Two essential LP's "In The Wee Small Hours" and "Songs For Swinging Lovers" from '55 and '56 respectively. This was from his come back after his teenage idol status had declined. He was dropped by Columbia and picked up by Capitol after his rebirth as a movie actor. Wee is considered to be one of the best vocal jazz albums ever recorded. Those two LP's are essential in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) -he imbodied the Ceasar's Palace in quality and high class -the quality of all the recordings that Frank Sinatra was involved with were perfect and true works of art - That might be stretching it all a bit there. The guy was called "The Bourbon Baritone" for a reason. His career did span 55 years. He reportedly recorded over 2700 songs and about 100 albums including various compilations, but I can assure you some of them are downright brutal!

NOSValves Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I've been a Frank Sinatra fan my entire life! That Carson episode was a riot to watch. Man I miss that show my grand parents and parents always watched it and it was special treat when they would let us stay up late now and than to watch it when we were kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a year building my Klipsch system, Stacked Scalas, Bells, and they were as i thought, just fine for the music i was playing for the last couple of years. Getting into Quality Pipe Organ music Required me to pursue the next step in a new system, looking into The KP, McM, Mwm line from Kilpsch looked pretty good till you try to find them Seeing that Big Bad Klipsch top of the line are just not to plenty full, i looked at the next best upgrade that i could buy. EAW's and Line Arrays have been in my taste for quite some time, plenty full on the market and "Used" through out the US. Im happy with the choice i made, and at this time designing my next system, bigger yet, going from Bi-Amp to Tri-Amp And they dont look to be EAWs this time around, after all i simply used JBL as a stepping stone to Klipsch, and Klipsch to EAWs, still shopping for the end result. Pipe Organ seems best when moving close to the same amount of air the Organ was, at least that is what i tell the neighbors. P.S. $2K is all it took to procure the EAW system, try doing that with anyone else. Factory specs for my EAWs are in my photo Gallery, take a peek to see how 600s match up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent T Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Frank Sinatra is essential. And meant to be heard on vinyl. I recommend his finest albums from Capitol and Reprise for those who love fine singing of fine songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
